I was able to translate all the Roman Numerals no problem, but can't make heads or tails of what they mean. The numbers can represent player number, yardage, scores, time, and terminology. Think in terms of famous Super Bowl plays and who was involved in them. For example; III-XII-XLI-VII would read as 3-12-41-7 or Super Bowl III Namath passes to Matt Snell for a TD. (No idea if that play actually took place, it’s just an example of how I’m using the numbers.) In any case, maybe I should put the Super Bowl number back in the sequences. It does seem kind of difficult to figure out the question without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 Revised version of round V with the Super Bowl added to the sequence. Again, this one took place very quickly. Round V. XXXV-XXII-XLIX-LXXVI-XCVII-LXXIV-LXXIV-XXI-XXXVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Super Bowl (35), Duane Starks (22) returns a Kerry Collins INT for (49) yards. On the next play, Ron Dixon (86) returns the kickoff (97) yards. On the next play, Jermaine Lewis (84) returns the kickoff (84) yards. (21) points in (36) seconds. EDIT: I think you got got some of the numbers wrong. When I plugged in the numbers to a Roman numeral calculator, 86, 84, and 84 came up as 76, 74, and 74. Just an FYI cause I’m pretty sure this is the sequence you’re referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds are, I misread them and ended up with a couple typos. Sorry about that. I left out an X that's why you got 76,74,74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason I got it was because Super Bowl 35 was added and it’s obviously close to my heart. Needed help from Wikipedia to get the specific yardage, time, etc. Infrared also saying that the sequence happened quickly pretty much sealed it for me.

They're all "big plays" from the Super Bowl and I tell you which Super Bowl it is at the beginning of the sequence. Then it's just a matter of figuring out player numbers. I think they're a whole lot easier than the "Who am I?" bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think the first one you went with without the Super Bowl was itself a really tough string of events to figure out. I'd love to see some that maybe aren't linked to a single super bowl or play, but are thematically related. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!
